<p>[QUOTE=&quot;IdesOfMarch01, post: 3111931, member: 39084&quot;]I generally concur with the above observations, at least for those coins with which I have some familiarity, and would add the following:</p><p><br /></p><p>A. These coins, popularly called &quot;quadrigatus,&quot; are popular and pretty cool coins.&nbsp; Your obverse portrait is better-than-average style, but the coin suffers from the flan crack.&nbsp; You might do some research on CNG and acsearch.com to get an idea of its value.</p><p><br /></p><p>D. This coin is very, very likely to be tooled, especially the reverse.&nbsp; Note the distinctive outline of the palm tree&#039;s trunk, which is much more sharply delineated than the overall wear would seem to allow.&nbsp; The obverse has been smoothed, which isn&#039;t that unusual and doesn&#039;t detract from value in the way that the reverse tooling does.</p><p><br /></p><p>G. This coin is not in my area of collecting, other than my familiarity with 1st and 2nd century Roman gold coins, but its appearance seems very odd to me for reasons that I can&#039;t quite articulate.&nbsp; Maybe it&#039;s the flan extending past the raised boundary of the coin at 4 o&#039;clock on the obverse, but the coin just doesn&#039;t seem right.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
